RichardB Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 These people sure moved around a lot (mind you, not have as much as Walsh's, now there's a remarkable story ...) They have three premises shown in the first picture (July 1960), the first two are easy to see, because it's got their name on the buildings, go beyond the "new" store, find an archway really strain your eyes to make out the details ......., then view picture two (Button Lane July 1960) Picture three (June 1962) shows the frame of what would become M&S, Williams Deacons Bank would become Boots All from Remember Sheffield in the 50's, 60's and 70's Pictures 1 & 2 J.

mickjj Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 Went by the one on the moor this week. it was sad to see what state the building is in with just a few shops open beneath it and the rest boarded up.

mickjj Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Here are a couple of shots I took last week. I do think it is sad to see a once bustling department store be in such a sad state of repair. http://www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/uploads/monthly_05_2007/post-14-1179784762.jpg, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
